Résumé
During the last decade, we have moved, perhaps irrevocably,
into the era of a global economy. Through its focus on
human resource management and organization, The
Globalization Challenge: Frameworks for International Human
Resource Management, provides a broad guide on how to
manage the process of internationalization, with a
particular focus on the transnational firm. In this brand
new offering, authors Evans, Pucik and Barsoux discuss the
people implications of traditional strategies for
internationalization and how such strategies get executed
through human resource management (HRM). They discuss such
important topics as:
- how to manage expatriates from the parent country
- how to go about adapting management practices to circumstances abroad
- how to localize management
- how to recognize and ultimately avoid obstacles in joint ventures
- how to expand across borders through acquisitions
- how to respond to the contradictory pressures of the transnational firm, where HRM has a critical role to play in enabling managers to resolve these paradoxes in innovative ways
- how global competition is changing the nature of management and organization, even for firms operating in domestic markets.
- Practical applications of international human resource management can be found throughout the text and feature a wide variety of companies, including: Nokia, AT&T, GE, Cisco, Apple Computers, IBM, Motorola, Toshiba, Intel, General Motors, Proctor & Gamble, Accenture, and Bertlesman.
- Strong research base. One of the recurrent critiques of the HRM field is the lack of a theoretical base. The authors¿ concept of IHRM is that it is necessarily interdisciplinary in its orientation. In doing so they draw on many practical examples of companies that have taken these paths and experienced these dilemmas. They build on research studies from different disciplines from personnel/HR management to organizational theory, from cross-cultural analysis to strategic management. The book uses well-known theoretical perspectives in order to make sense of the lessons going from contingency theory of fit to institutional theories from sociology and political science to emerging theories of social capital. New theoretical perspectives, notably duality or dilemma theory, also receive due coverage.
- A rigorous theoretical perspective on the transnational enterprise. The distinguishing feature of the transnational firm is the contradictory pressures that it faces ¿ global versus local, exploitation (profitability) versus exploitation (learning), teamwork versus accountability. The authors use duality theory (more familiar to managers in the shape of paradox) to provide deep insights into the dilemmas and the implications for organization HRM.
